Hypothetically, if not, impossible...Umbreon could make a part-electric type. The rings around its body glow in the dark when its in danger or smells fear, and lights up when it senses something. I think with those rings, they could produce a bit of electrical power, maybe a few electrical moves.

Well I meant Pokemon that weren't Dark types already to get an extra typing and become part Dark or their typing would change and be Dark and whatever other typing they may have. So like Lucario being changed to Steel/Dark or Fighting/Dark instead of Fighting/Steel or Luxray being Electric/Dark instead of just Electric. But the idea of Umbreon being Dark/Electric sounds cool and I like that idea of using its rings on its body to produce electricity. Really neat. :)

*Deceiver (Japanese: 奇術師Illusionist) is a type of trainer class who specializes in Illusions and deceptive tactics to take advantage of their opponents. They are tricksters and tend to disguise themselves as another trainer class to deceive challenging trainers, but soon break off of it as soon as they are found. They tend to use annoyer and stall tactics such as Embargo and Swagger along with bulky and fast Dark-types like Zoroark and Umbreon to give trainers a hard time during battle.

This describes me in some ways, other personality traits I never knew I really had. But I guess this is who I truly am as a dark type- an Umbreon. I don't know what to think of it honestly, while there are good qualities I'm going "Do I really do those sorts of things?", nevertheless the quiz was fun to do. n_n

wow, i didn't expect to see this club still alive! awesome!
yes, i am in fact already a member, but my last posts was somewhere in JANUARY 2012. my god.

in any case I HAVE RETURNED! and i did the test as well. i'm Weavile, even though i made sure to avoid any answer that explicitly mentioned ice... guess i'm just that cold a person.

as for topics, i'm sorry, i couldn't be bothered to answer all the topics i missed since then, so this will have to do.DARKIFY A POKEMON:
the first pokemon that comes to mind for me is Granbull... simply because it's much too evil-looking not to be a DARKtype. but apart from that nothing comes to mind right now.
apart from that, when i first saw Lucario i seriously thought it was a DARK/FIGHTINGtype, rather than
FIGHTING/STEELtype. but oh well.

FAVOURITE DARKtype SPECIALIST?
Grimsley alllll the way.

also, could i have my partner Sableye's nickname changed into Stitch? hehe..

i know! that's over a year. dear lord.
thank you for the nickname change! c:

DARKIFY A MOVE?
... the first one that came to mind for me was Dream Eater, but honestly that sounds more like it should be a GHOSTtype move rather than DARKtype. but i do think DARK fits better than its current PSYCHIC typing.
other than that, maybe Slash, but i'm really grasping at straws here. maybe i'll come up with something better later.

Username: TenaciousWolfWhat do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: Dark types are tied for my favorite type. They are cool and mysterious, while possessing the offense in Pokemon like Weavile and Tyranitar, while also sporting defesive Pokemon, such as Mandibuzz and Umbreon. Design-wise, I cannot say I hate any existing Dark type Pokemon.Your partners: (Up to two) Mandibuzz and KrokorokWhat Types rule: Dark types! c:<Answer the current topic: Confuse Ray. It's the sort of move that just seems fitting of Dark type Pokemon. Maybe that's just me.

Current topic: If you could make any (existing) Pokemon part Dark what would it be and why?

I'd probably make Luxray into an Electric/Dark type pokemon, for various reasons.Luxray has a dark colored design, and he has that evil/dark expression on his face.
Also, it would be a new dual type, one I've been waiting for a long time now

THIS. i wholly agree. i honestly was really surprised when i had Luxray in Diamond and its Bite/Crunch DIDN'T get STAB! so disappointing. i hope they'll reconsider it, but it'll probably be left like this.

Yeah i totally agree with you, Bite/Crunch definitely fit Luxray and he should get STAB from them! I guess it's too late for a re-typing...too bad, he would have been perfect.

I actually read that and started to think, but i couldn't really come up with any good ideas :/
I guess Mean Look could be a dark type? Probably a bad example...
Or Perish Song? That's definitely an evil and obsucre move?!

Darkifying a pokemon was a rather old topic some weeks ago? its rather funny to see it discussed rather than the new one. Anyway, topics are constantly changing from one thing to another so I'll give one that gives you sometime to reflect:

What are the characteristics that makes a Dark type? What identifies a Dark type that gives them their type match up?

For my answer, Dark types are characterized as sly, sneaky, vicious and deadly. All the pokemon asigned to Dark types really speak it. For me the reason that Ghost, fear, is weak to Dark is that dark types can easily overwhelm fear aslong as they can ensure that nothing can scare them now, and that is by being sneaky, fast and unnoticable. Psychic's weakness and uselessness against Dark can also be seen by its unpredictability and constant change of mind to ensure that things are incheck and working.

Welcome to the club all of you guys! I'm so sorry I haven't been here much, it's just too hard to even think of things to talk about here anymore. :(

Mithel_Celestia suggested a new topic so.

What are the characteristics that makes a Dark type? What identifies a Dark type that gives them their type match up?

I think they're characterized by their mischievous personality and how sly and deadly they are. Other types like Ghost and Psychic types are fearful of them and feel they aren't as strong or powerful as they are and feel weak in comparison. They have the perfect creepy persona that make a lot of Pokemon tremble.

DARKtype CHARACTERISTICS & MATCHUP?
i agree with everything posted so far; especially because the DARKtype is called the あく, 'Evil/Demon' type in Japanese, i think it's pretty sure that their cunning, sly and vicious is what they are renowned for, and is the exact image they're designed to fit. Seeing as how GHOSTtypes are even weak to DARK power, it just illustrates even more that this evil is stronger than just spirits of the deceased or haunted mansions...
however their cleverness has a weakness; it simply cannot deal with the idiocy of no-brain FIGHTING and BUGtypes. [/besticouldcomeupwith]

also, since i didn't post mine yet and it seems nobody else had Weavile as of yet:

Username: LadyNyxWhat do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: I love them and their designs, especially Umbreon, Absol, and Houndoom. If used correctly, they are strong.Your partners: Houndoom (Nox) Absol (Kaos)What Types rule: Dark Types RuleAnswer the current topic: What are the characteristics that makes a Dark type? What identifies a Dark type that gives them their type match up?
I think the characteristics of a Dark type are slyness, viciousness, and deadliness. Ghost types are weak against them because, while Ghosts inspire fear in most, the Dark is far more feared because of the unknown that may be in it. Psychic types' weakness may be because of the unpredictability of the Dark, and how it can change in a second.
